Day 20

I. Am. So. Exhausted. 


We just got back from our games in Skovde, a 3 hour drive that we left for at 7 this morning. The games didn't go so great... we lost the first one 8-1, I was that one run, and lost the second game 12-2 in the 6th inning... I also scored one of those runs. 


I started out the first game in center field, batting 1st. Then about the 4th inning, I was moved to shortstop. Their infield was grass, so the first groundball that came to me spun off the grass and hit my hand, so I wasn't able to get the girl out, but other than that I made all the plays. Jonna caught and we got almost every girl out that tried to steal. I went 1 for 3 hitting in the first game against the American pitcher. The first hit was a pop-up to short, the second was a hard fly out to left, and then my last hit was a line drive to the outfield. 


In the second game, I ended up playing shortstop the whole time, and was 3rd in the lineup. My first and second at bat didn't go so well... I struck out the first time.. I was all over the place the last pitch I swung at... and my second at bat I hit a popup to left field, but my 3rd at bat I hit a grounder down the 3rd base line, so I was once again 1 for 3. I had a really awesome diving catch on short... it was a line drive between short and third and I dove and caught it for the third out. 


After the games, we went to the locker rooms to shower and change into some clean clothes. Once we were all clean, we headed back to Enkoping, with me driving one of the cars. We stopped at a McDonald's for dinner, but some of us didn't want that so we went to a nearby grocery store and got some stuff... I just got some cottage cheese and mixed nuts, so I'm starving right now haha. 


We have 3 weeks until our next game, July 3rd... so Ingrid, Kelsey, and I are going to talk with the girls and make out a schedule for times when they can get with Kelsey and I and practice specific things during a 30 minute period. It won't be every day bc we should be able to fit about 6 people into a short time. 


Other than that, I'm hoping to get a lot of site seeing in during those 3 weeks! 
Bye for now :)
